Soundproof Flooring

Soundproofing the floor  requires blocking of undesirable noises that are being produced  and travelling continuously to the ceiling of the neighbour below. Typical sounds that travel through the floor and into the ceiling below are footsteps (impact noise), voices, stereos, barking, and even loud appliances. These noises (vibration) can easily transfer down through the floor if not treated properly .  Soundproofing the floor of your condo, studios or apartment can significantly reduce or eliminate this noisy intrusion and make your space more peaceful and quiet for those around you. Before we recommend a system to block the noise, let’s find out what you’re up against.

Impact noise can also be from objects being moved or rolled across the floor, or vibrations such as those from a washer or dryer. The Only Solution is Decoupling, Mass, Absorption and Damping, four of the 4 Elements of Soundproofing when used properly can get the desired effect in soundproofing.
